Rage-Carmack blames sony for poor performance

Check out John Carmacks twitter, he is totally blaming Sony for the poor texture load on Rage.http://twitter.com/#!/ID_AA_Carmack
If he knew this was a limitation why was he spouting all over the place that the ps3 would not have any texture pop in before release. The guy is a liar

Another remark that builds upon many others that doesn't reflect well on his recent behaviour. The direction id took with Rage and the attempts to excuse its own failings by blaming others is such a letdown for those of us who grew up on its games.

I wouldn't say they have a "right" to anything. If someone thinks the game runs so poorly that it isn't worth having, then they shouldn't have bought the game. You don't buy a nugget of crap and then ask for the person who sold it to you to turn it into a golden nugget.

@Ronuds Of course they do, its customer service afterall and who is to say they knew in advance.

@Dirtbox Its called passing the buck. But you keep trolling to try and turn this into a platform issue rather it being one small part of a wider problem with community and customer support by John Carmack and id in response to Rage feedback.

I'm not trolling, I'm allowed to laugh at your pathetic attempts at being outraged over nothing. He's right about what he said.

"convince Sony to allow unbuffered hard drive IO and/or free up more OS mem and we can make it better."

Is plain fact, cry all you like about it.

That doesn't sound too bad. Just genuine reasons for why the game runs like it does. It's no worse than the stuff he said about a lack of partial installs on 360 or disc space. The OP made it sound like Carmack was really flipping out, which is hard to imagine, him being mostly robot and all.
